	        <h1>Article Manual</h1>
	        	<p>Article is an article handling module for ImpressCMS.</p>
	        <h2>Keyfeatures</h2>
				<ul>
					<li>You can write articles</li>
					<li>You can categorize your articles</li>
					<li>Attach files to your articles.</li>
					<li>Use simple method to paginate your articles</li>
				</ul>
	        <h2>First Start</h2>
				<p>There are several things you should do <b>before</b> you try to create a new article. Please, follow the instructions.</p>
				
				<h3>Allow the necessary File types</h3>
				
					<p>At first we need to allow the Mime types, which can be uploaded. Go to System > Media > Mime Types</p>
					<p>Choose the Mime types you want to allow for File upload. If you like to use file upload from frontend beware of the group permissions per file.</p>
					<p>Remember the image upload, too. Actually the mime type permissions are used by the image upload, too. So please allow also jpeg, jpg, png and whatever you like to use.</p>
					<p>Done! Now you can upload all file types.</p>
			
				<h3>Check out the module preferences</h3>
					<p>There might be some preferences, you'd like to change before using the module first time. Go to Modules > Article > Preferences</p>
					<ul>
						<li>Group Permissions
							<ul>
								<li>
									The group permissions are only to set permissions for creating new categories in front end. All selected groups will have permissions to submit new categories.
								</li>
							</ul>
						</li>
						<li>Date Format
							<ul>
								<li>
									The Date format will be used for displaying the date throughout the module frontend. You need help to get the preferred date format? Look <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php">here</a> for a detailed instruction.
								</li>
							</ul>
						</li>
						<li>Show Breadcrumb
							<ul>
								<li>
									Select "Yes" to display the breadcrumb in front end, "No" to disable the breadcrumb.
								</li>
							</ul>
						</li>
						<li>Show categories
							<ul>
								<li>
									Set the limit for categories to be listed on index view.
								</li>
							</ul>
						</li>
					</ul>
				<h3>Create a category</h3>
					<p>The next important will be creating a category. Otherwise you can not see the page to submit articles. Go to Tab 'Manage categories' > Add Category. Just Fill out the fields. You can select an image for the category or upload a new one. You also can upload a set of new category images to /uploads/article/categoryimages/. The module will read the image files inside the folder and show them inside the select box. Done.</p>
				<h3>Submit Articles</h3>
					<p>Finally you can start creating articles. Go to Tab 'Manage Articles' > 'Add Article' and fill out the fields. Done! Now you should see your first category and article inside the frontend.</p>
				<h2>Blocks</h2>
				<p>Currently you have 4 blocks for 'Article' module:</p>
				<ul>
					<li>Recent Articles
						<ul>
							<li>The "Recent Articles" block will display the recently submitted articles and sort them by published date, DESC.</li>
						</ul>
					</li>
					<li>Recent updated Articles
						<ul>
							<li>This block will display recently updated articles and sort them by updated date, DESC.</li>
						</ul>
					</li>
					<li>Most popular Articles
						<ul>
							<li>This block content will be dependent from your preferences. Only Articles, which where called more about the selected number will be shown inside the block.</li>
						</ul>
					</li>
					<li>Category Menu block
						<ul>
							<li>Here you c an see the category like a menu. You also can select one special category to display all subcategories of this one.</li>
						</ul>
					</li>
					<li>Random Articles block
						<ul>
							<li>Here you can see shuffled articles. You also can select one special category to display all articles of this one.</li>
						</ul>
					</li>
